Hello Louise, Buy a sub that has Speaker level inputs and outputs on the back ( many polk, sony, bic etc. do). Simply install right and left speaker wires to the amp as you normally would for regular speakers. Then conect those wires to the r/l speaker INPUT on the back of the sub. Then run seperate wires from the r/l OUTPUT on sub to your speakers. Works and sounds great! Hope this helps. S

Yes, you need an AV cable to connect your subwoofer to your receiver. An AV cable is the best way to go.

Yes - you should be able to do that as long as the sub-woofer has its own cut-off low pass cut-off filter.

The subwoofer will connect with the standard woofer RCA plug. I don't know about the other devices. Bob

It can not. You will have to run a cable from the receiver to the subwoofer.

Not sure what u mean but make sure there is sub cable input for the receiver and subwoofer. Some older subs use speaker wire instead.

The answer above re 2 subs shd answer this question. There are two sub outs back of this receiver, both are sitting under a center channel out.

I believe you can -- there are two extra speaker terminals on the back -- but I would want to use a self-powered sub-woofer. I have misplaced my instruction booklet but you can get this information online at the Yamaha website.

This subwoofer does not accept any RCA cables, just XLR and 1/4. If you got a good quality RCA to XLR converter/cable, then you should be able to use it with a home receiver.

The speakers do not attach to the sub. Speakers connect to the respective connections on your receiver. The sub to the subwoofer connection on the receiver. If you don't have a sub jack on your receiver then it will not work.

This receiver does use a powered subwoofer. If you hook a non-powered speaker to this outlet, you could very well blow your sub-woofer. I wouldn't take the chance.

I had a similar question. I even emailed Polk to ask them and never heard back. You will need an amplifier because the subwoofer is passive. It has its own crossover built in, but the receiver should only be sending high sounds to your other speakers and low sounds to your sub. I just attached both positive wires from the sub to the single positive wire coming from the amp (and the same for the negative wires). It seems to work great and I have had it in for at least a year.

The receiver you have indicated has all the speaker connections to accomodate the speakers you mention. The speaker wire which comes with the set is pretty pathetic, so I would suggest investing in a spool of 16 ga wire, 50-100 feet depending on your needs. The wire for the subwoofer is on the smallish side, but it seems to work OK.

Steve...I didn't see any place to connect a separate sub woofer but gosh, I'm not sure you'd need one with the sound this thing puts out !

I honestly don't remember. I installed mine a year ago. But I think you can. I know there is a sub out that I hooked mine into. But why would you want to? Bass is good.
